entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of
December 14, 2005 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated January 23,
2006, the "REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which, INTER ALIA, the assets
of each Acquired Fund shall be acquired by its corresponding Acquiring Fund in
exchange for newly issued shares of such Acquiring Fund with a net asset value
equal to that of the assets of such Acquiring Fund; and
WHEREAS, MSF and each of the American Century Parties now desire to amend
the Reorganization Agreement in the respects, but only in the respects,
hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set
forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy
of which are hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, MSF, each Acquired Fund, each
American Century Party, and each Acquiring Fund hereby agree as follows:
1. AMENDMENTS.
(a) Section 2(b) of the Reorganization Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:
B. LIABILITIES TO BE DISCHARGED. The Acquired Fund will discharge all

ordinary course liabilities reflected in the Acquired Fund's net asset
value incurred by the Acquired Fund prior to the Closing Date in connection
with its on-going business operations (including accrued fees and expenses
and payables for securities purchased or for share redemptions) (the
"ACQUIRED FUND ORDINARY COURSE LIABILITIES"). Subject to receiving the
requisite approval of the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, and subject to
other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and on the basis of
the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, on the
Closing Date, the Acquiring Fund shall assume and thereafter in due course
pay and fully satisfy, discharge or perform the Acquired Fund Ordinary
Course Liabilities which consist of payables for securities purchased. For
avoidance of doubt, the Acquiring Fund shall not assume or agree to pay,
satisfy, discharge or perform any Acquired Fund Ordinary Course Liabilities
other than those consisting of payables for securities purchased (including
accrued fees and expenses and payables for share redemptions), any
contingent liabilities, or any liabilities arising under any plan adopted
by the Acquired Fund under Rule 12b-1 with respect to the sale of the
Acquired Fund's shares prior to the Closing Date.
(b) The Reorganization Agreement is hereby amended to add the following as
new Section 5(l):
l. PAYMENT OF UNASSUMED ACQUIRED FUND ORDINARY COURSE LIABILITIES. The
Acquired Fund will discharge all of its Acquired Fund Ordinary Course
Liabilities which have not been assumed by the Acquiring Fund under Section
2 hereof as such liabilities become due, and will on the Closing Date
establish cash reserves in the amount of such unassumed and outstanding
Acquired Fund Ordinary Course Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, such
cash reserves established for such purpose shall not be transferred or
conveyed to the Acquiring Fund under Section 2 hereof.
(c) Clauses (i) and (iii) of Section 7(e) of the Reorganization Agreement
are hereby amended in their entirety to read, respectively, as follows:
i. a certificate or certificates, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Acquired Fund, executed by the
President, a Vice President or the Secretary of the relevant American
Century Party on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, dated as of the Closing

to the Acquiring Fund, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Acquired Fund, covering such matters as may be reasonably
requested by the Acquired Fund and its counsel.
(d) Sections 7(f)(A) and 8(g)(A) of the Reorganization Agreement are hereby
amended to insert the phrase "consisting of payables for securities purchased"
immediately following the term "Acquired Fund Ordinary Course Liabilities" in
each instance where it appears therein.
(e) Clause (i) of Section 8(e) of the Reorganization Agreement is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows:
i. a certificate or certificates, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiring Fund, executed by the

Acquired Fund, dated as of the Closing Date, certifying that the

fulfilled;

be terminated as separate series of MSF until such time as the Acquired Fund
Ordinary Course Liabilities which have not been assumed by the Acquiring Fund
under Section 2 of the Reorganization have been discharged.
3. REAFFIRMATION OF REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT. This Amendment shall be
construed in connection with and as part of the Reorganization Agreement, and
except as modified and expressly amended by this Amendment, all terms,
conditions and covenants contained in the Reorganization Agreement are hereby
ratified and shall be and remain in full force and effect.
4. DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective
meanings ascribed thereto in the Reorganization Agreement unless herein defined
or the context shall otherwise require.
5. GOVERNING LAW. This Amendment shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of
the State of New York
